New Style

After MF and I stuffed ourselves with turkey and pumpkin pie, I spent the rest of the four-day break squirreled away at my dining room table. I've been experimenting with different paints, pencils, inks, etc. and I think I've come up with a style that I like. It still incorporates the digital collage element but the look is softer, more sketch-like.

There has been much to be thankful for this year. Last year around this time I had gotten laid off from my job and prospects were looking grim in every facet of my life. Now I am gainfully employed with multiple jobs -- one of which I absolutely love and hope to grow into a full-time gig; the boyfriend turned into a husband and we were able to renew the lease to our cabin-in-the-city with minimal drama (a rarity). A landmark year indeed. 33 more days of 2005 to go! I wonder what surprises 2006 will bring...
